    %INTEGRITY ACCEPT REFLEXIVE FEEL EMOTION OBJECT 890524

     Jack  has been taught by example that he must  always
be  objective.   His parents,  teachers,   professors  and
mentors  have  always  been objective;   they  have  never
demonstrated to Jack any integrative ways of behaving non-
objectively.   By example they have taught Jack to  always
behave  objectively.  In Jack's world of ideals the  ideal
way to behave is to avoid all non-objective behavior.

     Jack   has   a  difficult  time  trying   to   behave
objectively at all times.  He has a difficult time in  his
efforts  to avoid noticing that sometimes his behavior  is
not  objective  behavior.  Sometimes he notices  that  his
behavior  is  not objective behavior;  and he then  has  a
difficult  time dealing consciously with this  recognition
that sometimes his behavior is not objective behavior.  He
has not learned how to deal with reflexive  considerations
of  his  own  non-objective behavior;   for  his  parents,
teachers,   professors and mentors have never demonstrated
how  to  be in honest dialogue about one's  own  reflexive
behavior.

     Jack  lacks  integrative coping skills.  Jack is  not
able  to  integrate his reflexive perceptions  of  himself
with his objective perceptions of the universe around him.
Jack's  universe  lacks an integrative  unity  within  his
conceptions  and feelings as regards his universe and  his
own place in his universe.

     Jack  can  not  think and feel with  integrity  about
himself  in his universe because he cannot reflect  openly
and  honestly  about  his  own  place  in  his  objective,
familial,   communal,   corporate,   professional,    etc.
universes.  Jack is not free to be self-honest because  he
feels he must always behave objectively as he has seen his
parents, teachers, professors, and mentors behave.

     Jack's   understanding   of  the  universe  will   be
incomplete  so long as his conception of his universe does
not include himself thinking and feeling about himself  in
relation  to all parts of the universe which mean the most
to  him.   Jack  needs  to  learn  that  it  is  logically
impossible  to  have an integrated view  of  the  universe
which is exclusively objective in character.

     Jack needs to engage in a new kind of research  which
will  enable  him  to  learn  things  which  his  parents,
teachers,  professors and mentors did not know,  and  were
kept from knowing by their exclusively objective paradigm.

     Jack needs to begin with a sense of the importance of
personal  and  communal integrity,  and to recognize  that
they cannot be derived from analytic considerations.
